I’m wondering how this actually works. I don’t think our IT team would ever allow it, but even if they did, you’d have to be able to run everything M$ (Teams, excel, etc), onedrive/sharepoint, windows specific software like CAD, Bluebeam, use Chrome-only software like Autodesk stuff -

It seems kind of dumb to even do that, since you’d be locked into that M$ ecosystem anyway. But I’m curious if anyones done it.

    I’m running Linux on my uni laptop, and just use the microslop web-apps…

    But I have a win10 machine that I remote into for CAD since that doesn’t run on Linux. Or I use the universities machines…

      Props to you, that would be impossible in places where they force you to take tests with camera and mic on windows only machine, and it cannot be an unactivated windows machine either and no VM. Huuuuuge pita. I’d never do college with Linux. Not to mention solidworks and circuit software doesn’t run in Linux either.
